• 1 tsp Paprika
• 25ml Olive Oil

For the sauce

Method

1. Peel, halve and finely chop the red onion.
2. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
3. In a frying pan, sauté the chopped red onion on a low light for a couple of minutes to soften.
4. Add the garlic and grated carrot and cook until the carrots have wilted.
5. Drain the beans.
6. Finely chop the chilli, including the seeds.
7. Put the beans into the onion and carrot mix, then add the oats, soy sauce, paprika, coriander and chilli. Place the mixture into a food processor, season with salt and pepper and blitz until you have a thick, slightly lumpy mixture.
8. Divide the mixture into 4 balls, then flatten to make 4 patties. Put in the fridge to chill and firm up.
9. To make the sauce, simply add all the ingredients together and mix well.
10. Slice the burger buns in half then toast on the cut side.
11. Fry the burgers in a little sunflower oil for 10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
12. To finish, spread the houmous on the burger buns, top with some lettuce leaves, then the bean burgers and brioche bun tops.
13. Serve alongside the sauce.

Great accompanied by some sweet potato fries.
